Atlanta, man for man is the better team. Both offensively and defensively. That was proven for 3 1/2 quarters. They may be a new dynasty with the youth they have though Ryan, as good as he is is not Brady. So the better team lost imo because the better coached and more experienced team were able to take advantage. They were certainly still talented enough and Brady = Clutch but the better team man for man lost.
You see my sub title, Atlanta Coaches Blow Game and they did. It came down to this. Leading 28-20 they had that SPECTACULAR play where Ryan on the run threw to his reciever on the sidelines a PERFECT PASS if there ever was one. The CATCH was even more SPECTACULAR with the reciever dragging his feet in bounds as he dove for the ball.
So that SHOULD have been the game. They need 3 pts and are ALREADY in FG position. What you MUST do is run 3 times RIGHT UP THE EFFING MIDDLE! You kill clock and even if you make two yards on those three runs You kick the FG and win. PERIOD!
Instead Trails was stunned to see the first play as a lateral sweep? Huh? They lost a few yards. On second and 14 or whatever it was, Ryan now has to throw and he gets sacked. THAT was the game. The Coach Choked. period!
Now we can talk about how long the defense was on the field. Yes the Falcons used the no huddle to their advantage but it caught up with them. Their D was spent and it showed late in the 3rd quarter to the end. STILL, the coach blew it.
You have to give Brady his props. Two 8 pt TD's and an OT TD. It doesn't get any better than that BUT, the Coach blew it regardless. There would be no comeback had he just taken his 3 pts. In fact if this were a horse race we'd say the speed came back to the field rather than call this a comeback. It was NOT. It was a Give Away.
Commercials and Half Time..Commercials were pretty lame compared to past years imo. I did enjoy the Melissa Macarthy one with the Rhino etc etc..I LOVED the bad hair one...lol..We are stuck with 4 years of Bad Hair lol..Lets hope it is less. The immigrant one with Anheuser Busch should have hit home to you haters out there.
The Country Guy who sang the National Anthem nearly put me to sleep. Lady GaGa who has never done anything for me was imo SPECTACULAR. I was impressed. What a natural performer she really is. IMO she easily blew Madonna and Beyonce even Katy Perry who I like away.
Haters expected her to go political but she TRUMPED them by doing it with her opening song, This Land is YOUR Land. Also her song Born This way got her message across and it was spitting in the eye of you haters out there. She never had to make a statement that the haters were afraid of..She really is talented though and her diving from the rafters was scary crazy but very kewl too. I think her star will shine brighter than ever now.
How could I forget George Bush and Barbara? Wow, Emo or what? So classy. A REAL American Hero and couple. Trails had to fight allergies on that one if you get my drift.
